I was under the impression that it was Brick, among the other indie films he was in, that brought him to the mainstream.

Good track record in indie films. He mentioned no one wanted to give "that kid from 3rd Rock" a chance.

The way I see it, he went the right way. Indie --&gt; Mainstream + still doing films with indie directors

Yeah child sitcom actors get pigeon holed like a mug. He was smart to go the indie route to prove he can act. I've been a fan since Brick but I didn't expect him to blow up like this. IDK how it happened, but right now he's on fire.
